CoSFEDERArE BONDS.

II is said to be very difficult thing
to get q joke into the head OF a Scotch
man it is equally as much SO 10 gel
anything into the head OF an English
man, that he does not want to believe.
There is no knowing how Of en- within
the past twenty-five years the Ameri'
can papers and American
correspondents have explained
for the benefit Of English
lawyers and English financiers that
there Ia q constitutional prohibition to
the assumption by the national or any
OF the lately Confederate States OF any
portion OF the debt contracted BY this
Coniederacy or any OF the States COM
posing 1t. Yet, here comes the quee-
ton again, this time in the form OF sn
advertisement 10 the London EcoEe
mia. a financial paper Of the highest
standing. which addressed to the ho.d.
ers OF Confederate bonds, assures them
that their cause Is to be pleaded before
Congress and by an able lawyer, who
thinks the case strong one, as the
United States Government is liable
for the whole amount OF the debt &C.
cording to the law OF nations, and be.
cause It has forbidden the once
Confederate States to redeem the
bonds. 1t also in!imates that public
opinion In this country is ripening In
the direction OF prompt settlement
OF the Confederate debt. 1t Is incon'
ceivable to ordinary people that any
intelligent man capable Of buying q
bond or holding one could
be entrsppsd for moment
by such falsehoods. Yet there
are hundreds, perhaps thousands, Of
English people who have q lively
faith that the wild hope held out by
this advertisement may be re,lized.
We can say to them again, as We have
SAID many times before, that the PEG.
pie of the South would not
pay a cent of the Confederate deb even
though there wa, no constitutional
prohibition. They lost all they en-
barked in the contest and that was
pretty much all that they had, in
cludirg slave property and invest.
ments in that came debt and in State
debts, and as the outside bondholdere,
like those in Europe took the
chances OF war, they should abide the
result and cease to howl and repint
about their losses. The only time We
thought such a thing as the redemp
ton OF these bonds possible was wher
the Republicans, during reconstr ~
tions days, were in possession OF al
branches of the government au'
were selling that power ant
authority in the most shameless
acts Of bribery and corruption. WheI
the rasoals who fostered the Credi
Mobilier and other schemes bad tn
itching palm on, and before the cor
stitutlonal amendment val adopte
by the Southern States, there is N
knowing what they would nave don
with the Confederate debt. On

have induced them to Legitimate any
thing aud tind self satisfying excuS
for it. But the Eogllsh 6ondholdel
let that chance pass. That was the
only one. They ought to give up th
chase now. 1t is hopeless. They wi

bonds; never a cent. They might .

The Memphis team scored its second
successive victory yesterday by defeat

victory for the home team. They
made twenty. five runs while the visit

stay away from the park yesterday,

o'clock there were few over 500 per-
10 90 present. German went in to
pitch for Memphis, but he was hit
hard, and after the second
inning he was transferred to

the box. The latter pitched a good
game, holding the visitors down to six

rolling in the snow. Thomas Branigan,
plumber, who had been on duty until mid
night, and then went to sleep near the
boiler, was suffocated, and his body liter

This is an outbreak of the lawless spirit

sand Dollars for the Support of Debating

BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. o. Humphrey
Moore, who died here the other day, left
$4,000 to build and support an institution
for the debating societies of Baltimore.
Mr.. Moore was fond of public discussion.
He believed in settling disputes by discus
,ions, and often declared that he thought
no young man educated who could
not make good extemporaneous
speech. That clause in the will referring
to the institute says that he desires it
established for open discussions in the in
terests of morality, patriotism, intelligence
and political science. Mr.. Moore when he
came to Baltimore in 1874, opened an old
curiosity shop, where he kept all sorts Of
literature oddities that could not be found
elsewhere. Geo. W. Childs, the Philadel-
phia editor and philanthropist; was, when
lad, clerk in his store. The money he
made in books he invested in stocks, and
after making over 10000 he retired.

PRACTICAL, SURE ENOUGH

A Joke Which Resulted in a Poor Girl
Getting Rich Husband.
TOLEDO, o., Jan. 6.-About year ago
romantic story was published of an Irish
emigrant girl, named Annie O'Connor,
who was working at hotel here, receiv-
ing letter from England, stating that she
was an heress to vast estates. The story
turned out afterward to have been a prac-
tical joke on the girl, but she was deluged
with letters of marriage from all over the
country. Among the letters was one re-
ceived from James O'Keefe, a wealthy res
ident of Pittsburgh, which resulted in
correspondence, and about ten days ago in
meeting. To-day information is received
from Pittsburgh h that the couple were mar.
ried there yesterday.
